Great! Still digging the plan walk through at the start. I also really dig the observations, evaluation of the ship you’re about to work. Really cool.

There is no sounding of a horn to alert Crews you are moving away from the Dock. Obviously you are very modern and powerful Tug/Tow Vessel.

Hey Capt Willy. Ok I have just a couple of questions. On that rope that you attached to that ship, what is the pulling strength? And if you push a big ship like that aren't you scared of putting a dent in the ship? This kind of stuff is really exciting to watch. Thanks Capt Willy

@tugboatwilly843

Hey now! I believe that line can hold up to 100+ tons before it gives away and we never pull over 90. Also as long as you don’t come hard into the ship you’ll have no problems. You do have to be really careful tho. Thanks for watching 🫡

I see you have different tug boat types in the fleet. A narrow and a bigger / wider looking unit. What’s the differences between these tugs and are they used for different applications ?

Great question and I might have to make a video on that but short form yes there is all different types of tugs and mostly all of ours can do ship docking
